SUMMARY:Author Talk: Sarah Adams with The Avid Reader
DESCRIPTION:Avid Reader is thrilled to host romance author\, Sarah Adams on her tour celebrating the release of her latest book in her When in Rome series: Beg\, Borrow\, or Steal. This event will be on January 15th at 6:00 PM at the Veterans Memorial Theatre in Davis. Sarah will be joined by a conversation partner to be announced at a later date. This is event is for people ages 18 and up\, tickets are required for every attendee. Each ticket includes one copy of the book. A signing and photo line will follow the event. Attendees may bring up to 3 maximum other titles for Sarah to sign. Only copies of Beg\, Borrow\, or Steal will be personalized. \nCLICK HERE TO PURCHASE TICKETS \n  \nAbout the Author: \nSarah Adams is the New York Times bestselling author of The Cheat Sheet and Practice Makes Perfect. Born and raised in Nashville\, Tennessee\, she loves her family and warm days. Sarah has dreamed of being a writer since she was a girl\, but finally wrote her first novel when her daughters were napping and she no longer had any excuses to put it off. Sarah is a coffee addict\, a British history nerd\, a mom of two daughters\, married to her best friend\, and an indecisive introvert. Her hope is to write stories that make readers laugh\, maybe even cry—but always leave them happier than when they started reading. \nAbout the Book: \nEmily Walker hates having her carefully crafted world disrupted by anyone\, most of all her legendary nemesis\, Jack Bennett. He’s the opposite of the wonderful heroes she dreams up in her double life as a romance writer\, which is why Emily was perfectly happy when Jack left Rome\, Kentucky\, mid-school year with his fiancée. The last thing Emily saw coming was Jack’sreturn at the start of the summer after calling off the wedding and ending his relationship\, but he’s here to stay—as her colleague and her neighbor. \nJack is glad to be back\, eager to renovate his house and work on the next mystery novel under his bestselling pen name. But when he realizes he’s now neighbors with the one woman who has always pushed his buttons\, he discovers something he’s even more excited about—thwarting Emily and her petty plans to sabotage his return. \nWith their chemistry-fueled animosity at an all-time high\, Emily accidentally sends an email to their school’s principal that could reveal her secret literary side hustle. She needs to steal back her manuscript\, and Jack—she hates to admit—is just the man to help her. Surprisingly\, he agrees. Will their unlikely alliance put an end to their rivalry? Or could it lead to a steamy plot twist they never saw coming?

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Roberta Millstein
DESCRIPTION:Local author and researcher\, Roberta L. Millstein will join us to discuss her new book\, The Land is Our Community. \nRobert Millstein @ The Avid Reader\n  \n\n\n\nThursday Jan 23rd\, 2025\n\n\n6:30 PM\n\n\n–\n\n\n7:30 PM\n\nAuthor Event\n\n The Avid Reader\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Author \nRoberta L. Millstein is an Emerit Professor in the Department of Philosophy at UC Davis\, retired from teaching but still researching.  Professor Emerit Millstein’s research is in the philosophy of science\, the history & philosophy of biology\, and environmental ethics. She is particularly interested in evolutionary biology\, ecology\, and environmental issues\, and the intersections between them. \nAbout the Book \nThe Land is Our Community is a contemporary defense of conservationist Aldo Leopold’s vision for human interaction with the environment. Informed by his experiences as a hunter\, forester\, wildlife manager\, ecologist\, conservationist\, and professor\, Aldo Leopold developed a view he called the land ethic. In a classic essay\, published posthumously in A Sand County Almanac\, Leopold advocated for an expansion of our ethical obligations beyond the purely human to include what he variously termed the “land community” or the “biotic community”—communities of interdependent humans\, nonhuman animals\, plants\, soils\, and waters\, understood collectively. This philosophy has been extremely influential in environmental ethics as well as conservation biology and related fields. \nUsing an approach grounded in environmental ethics and the history and philosophy of science\, Roberta L. Millstein reexamines Leopold’s land ethic in light of contemporary ecology.  In this book\, she provides new interpretations of the central concepts underlying the land ethic: interdependence\, land community\, and land health. She also offers a fresh take on his argument for extending our ethics to include land communities as well as Leopold-inspired guidelines for how the land ethic can steer conservation and restoration policy.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Lisa Montanaro
DESCRIPTION:Join us to hear local author Lisa Montanaro discuss her debut novel\, Everything We Thought Was True. \n  \nAbout the Author \nLisa Montanaro is part no-nonsense Italian American New Yorker and part sunny Californian. She has a unique background as a performer\, teacher of deaf students\, lawyer\, coach\, speaker\, and author. Everything We Thought Was True is her debut novel. Lisa is also the author of The Ultimate Life Organizer\, published by Peter Pauper Press. She serves as webinar host for the Women’s Fiction Writers Association and is a member of its diversity & inclusion committee. She is also the facilitator of the Retro COLAGE group for adult children of LGBTQ parents. When not writing\, Lisa enjoys cycling and hiking with her veterinarian husband\, tending to her garden\, and chasing after her rescue dogs. Lisa has enjoyed living snow-free since 2012 in Northern California\, where she’s made it her mission to sample the wines of the region. \nAbout the Book \nLos Angeles lawyer Lena Antinori has dedicated her career to fighting discrimination\, including for the LGBTQ community\, but her own family’s secret haunts her. At thirteen years old\, she made the startling discovery that her father\, Frank\, was gay and her mother\, Teresa\, knew. Fearing social stigma\, Teresa instituted a code of silence meant to protect their Italian Catholic family—a code Lena adhered to for decades. Now\, Frank plans to marry his partner\, and he wants Lena to help plan the wedding. Lena is torn between maintaining loyalty to her mother and supporting her father’s newfound happiness. As her father’s wedding approaches\, Lena learns her childhood wounds run deeper than she thought\, and failing to heal them might sentence her to a life of hypocrisy and the inability to discover the true meaning of coming out. Told by Lena in the present\, and her parents in the past\, Everything We Thought Was True examines how the truth doesn’t set you free until you embrace it.
